Chords for Steve Martin and The Steep Canyon Rangers ~ Wally on the Run ~ DelFest 2012

_ _ _ _ _ And [Bm] now I would like to bring out the great fiddle player for the Steep Canyon Rangers, Mr.
[B] Nikki Sanders. _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [B] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ How long have you been playing that fiddle, Nikki?
_ _ Since I was five.
_ _ Five [C#] years old.
Wow, no wonder you're so good.
_ What were you doing when [B] you were five?
When I was five, let's see, I was born in Texas and I moved to California when I was five,
_ leaving behind a wife and two kids. _ _ _
Now, _ _ _ _ _ _ one of my _ earliest favorite banjo records was a _ record called Flattened Springs in Carnegie Hall. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ You should _ be able [C#] to talk, position the mics, [A] and sit on the stuff all at the same [Bm] time. _ _
And on that record [C#] was a cut simply called Fiddle and Banjo, and it was Earl Scruggs and Paul Warren.
_ And I swore that [C#] _ if I ever got the [E] opportunity, I would love to [G] honor them _ by playing a [C] fiddle and banjo tune on [Bm] stage.
_ _ _ _ However, I [A] didn't want to honor them [C#] by paying them royalties, so I wrote [B] one.
_ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
And this song is called Wally on the Run, and [A] it's about my dog Wally.
And I wrote it one day in the backyard because my dog was desperate to [Cm] play, you know, throw the ball, throw the ball, hold the ball, hold [B] the ball.
And [A#] I was reading something, I didn't have time, and it sort of went like [B] this. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Hold it, Wally.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
No, I can't throw the ball, not right now.
[G] _ _
_ _ _ _ [C#] _ _ I [B] said I can't throw the ball. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Bm] _ All right, buddy, go get it one time.
